An Instance of Longevity.

A widow, 20 years of age, living in Texas,
has q cattle ranch with several hundred head
of cattle upon it, which she takes care of per-
sonally. She is out in all weathers, and is
able to ride mustang on a full run. The
foregoing has been the rounds of the papers,
and many comments have been made as to
the cause of her health and endurance. II is
a very simple matter, when il is known that
she is constantly supplied with Steele's Little
Bile Pills, which keep her liver 10 healthy
condition. and induce healthy circulation
of the blood, assuring Der good appetite,
good digestion, and consequently sound sleep.

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1887-08-10

CONSTITUTIONAL prohibition was over
whelmingly defeated at the election held in
Texas on Thursday last. That the letter
written by JEFF DAVIS, taking ground against
the measure, occasioned a good many ad-
verse votes. admits of little doubt for, though
his advice would not be listened to in the
North with any degree OF patience, he is re-
garded as patriot, a wise man, very sage
by the South. But there was never any
valid ground to expect that the result would
be otherwise, and the large vote that was
polled in favor of the measure must be re-
garded as a very encouraging indication and,
instead of disheartening the advocates of legal
prohibition, should rather incite them to
renewed effort. The leaven is working and
must inevitably, in the course of time, leaven
the entire lump The fiat has been spoken;
The saloon must 60" 1t is only question
of time.

ONE of the most outrageous measures ever
brought before Legislative body is the
so-called GLENN bill, which recently passed
the lower house of the Georgia Legislature by
an almost unanimous vote. The bill was in
troduced by Mr.. GLENN, in pursuance of a
recommendation from the governor of that
state, and provides that anyone who shall be
convicted of the offense of teaching white
and colored pupils in the same classes and in
the same school shall be punished 10y being
sentenced TO term OF service in that pecul-
lar and barbarous Georgia institution known
as the "chain gang The bill is aimed at
the professors in the Atlanta -colored-uni-
versity who are accustomed to hear their own
children recite in the classes of that insti-
tuition. which contains about $50 pupils-all
colored except the children of the professors.
The fact that the bill passed the Georgia
house of representatives with scarcely dis
senting voice is dd4nning disgrace to that
state. which will be deepened and intensified
if il shall pass the senate and be signed by
the governor, as it surely will be unless the
storm of indignation which it has aroused
throughout the country shall be sufficient to
prevent it. 1t appears as though democratic
Georgia were q relic of barbarsm instead of
ened republic of the nineteenth century.

4 TOTAL eclipse OF the sun will occur on
the 18th instant 1t is wholly invisible in
the United States, but is visible in Europe
and Asia, beginning near Berlin and passing
near Moscow, through the southern part of
Japan and so oH to the Pacific Ocean. The
line of totally is about 125 miles in width
and its greatest duration at any given point
is little more than three minutes. This
eclipse is attracting great deal of attention
from astronomers, and unusual preparations
are being made for its observation. The
United States observers will be stationed at
Toxic Japan. Should the conditions prove
favorable for the scientists. it is confidently
expected that their observations will result
in obtaining much interesting information,
especially in regard to what is termed the
solar corona, which consists of what appears
like rose colored flames, which shoot out far
beyond the solar disk, and white wisps
streaming out millions of miles farther. 1t
is only during the brief moments of a total
eclipse that these phenomena are visible,
consequently this limited time for observing
them is extremely precious.

Tn conviction and sentence of the entire
batch of Chicago boodlers can but have a
wholesome effect. The mildness of the SEN
tence was somewhat of surprise, but its
moral effect is just the same as though they
had received the full penalty of the law.
They can probably thank the peculiar system
of Illinois. which leaves the sentence to the
jury instead of the court, for the light pun
ishment imposed. The result of the trials
for corruption in Office, both in Chicago and
New York, is an indication of healthy
public sentiment in regard to crime in high
places and may be considered as the intro
duction of an era of greater official honesty
and probity.

GENERAL RosEcRANs says that majority
OF the soldiers of the late war were demo
Gratis. The general is right; one army was
made up entirely of democrats-not a repub-
lican il its ranks: the other was composed
loyal men from both parties, who stood
shoulder TO shoulder in defense of their
country and its flag. Yes, majority of the
soldiers were democrats, but not ma iority
of those who wore the blue, and General
RosECRANs knows it.

ADvIcEs have been received from STANLEY,
the African explorer, of later date than his
reported death. As he didn't say anything
about being dead, il is fair presumption
that he still lives. Ifsome kind friend will
save up all the obituary notices published
concerning him in the newspapers, they will,
without doubt, furnish amusement TO Mr..
STANLEY when he shall have returned home
again, provided he ever finds leisure to peruse
them. II isn't everyone who is permitted to
enjoy the privilege of reading his own
obituaries.

Ir the republicans of Kentucky have not
actually succeeded in electing their governor,
they have given the democracy of that state
a terrible scare. Large republican gains are
reported nearly all over the state, and it may
take the official count to determine which
party is successful. This is exceedingly
gratifying to republicans and is strong in
dication of the breaking up of the solid
South. The very name of Kentucky has
long been a synonym for bourbonism, and
when such inroads can be made in the very
stronghold of democracy, it is indeed an en-
couraging outlook. Scarcely state in the
Union could have been named wherein re-
publican success would have seemed less
likely than in the state of Kentucky.

ACCORDING to the published reports, there

Eaton, Genesee, Ingham, Lenawee and
Wayne-that have greater number of army
pensioners within their borders than Van
Bnren. and but one Wayne-whoso
pensioners receive a greater sum of money

due to the efficiency of our well known claim

DEMOCRATIC newspapers throughout the
country are relieving their pent up feelings
by alleging that Gen. TUTTLE used to be a
copperhead. Well, that is mean thing to
to say about man and. if the general ever
was a copperhead, we hope he has repented
of it sincerely and honestly. But just think
OF democratic newspaper charging any
man with having been copperhead. The
pot calling the kettle black is nothing in
comparison with 1t. What party did the
copperheads belong to- anyhow?

TIE question that now agitates the breast
Of GEORGE w. CURTIS and his co-mugwumps
IS whether or not Mr.. CLEvELAND's reform
reforms. They have pretty much made up
their minds that it does not. They are yet
willing to believe in CLEVELAND. but they
are badly disappointed with what he has
done and have set the seal of partisanship on
his administration. Their idea seems to be
that Mr.. GROVER CLEVELAND is all right
while President CLEVELAND is all wrong.

INVITING the president to visit our city
seems to have become almost a national

Inauguration of his republican successor.

ALEXANDER BADLAM, In an interview
with an Examiner reporter, gives it as
his opinion that the Southern boom will
not receive any setback for one or two
years. He says that lands for happy
and healthy homes are not too high now,
and he thinks they will 90 higher yet.
Mr.. Badlam does not give any reason
for his supposition that our lands may
receive a setback in one or two years,
and therefore his limit may be set
down as the merest guesswork. Why
there should be any setback in one or
two years we cannot imagine. If the
present rise should continue, and the
prices should 60 above reasonable zig.
ure, then we might properly look for a
setback. But the prices have not yet
reached the actual commercial value of
our lands. Lands that can be made to
yield, year in and year out, from $3.50 to
$3.50 an acre, are certainly not inordi-
nately high at from $500 to $1,000 an
acre. There is wide margin still left
between the productive value of our
lands and the prices asked.

A FISH famine mas been precipitated
upon Los Angeles during the past four
days by strike of the italian fishermen,
whose boats go out from San Pedro to
scour the deep for fish for this market.
1t seems that the strike is not for higher
wages from employers, but against the
United States Government. They re-
fuse to pay the license which the law
imposes upon boats fishing for com.
merce, which license they consider oner.
GUS, and take this way of showing their
opposition to it. Ii we are to have no
more fish for breakfast till this strike is
successful, we might as well make up
our minds to live on other food alto

THE HERALD has devoted great
deal Of close study of late to the prob
lem of q complete and efficient sewerage
system for this city. The plans that
have been formulated in the City En-
cineers office are ar.fully and elabor-
ately arranged, aud the system, as It Will
be ultimately recommended, will afford
perfect drainage for every section OF the
city. The plan proposes to make three
separate districts, but copJoining at
their termini by intereeptors which w'ii
carry. ON a natural grade, the entire
sewage into one channel and thence to
the lands which it is proposed to devote
to the purpose of receiving and utilizing
as fertilizer the wastage OF the city.
One arm of tho service will drain East Los
Angeles and belt of the town lying on
the grade of Alameda street. Another
will relieve Sonoratown and the city
living above its level by carrying Its
sewage into Main street. The third
will drain the line of territory lying
above the grade of Figueroa and Pearl
streets. An article elsewhere will out
line the details of the system. When
all this sewage is intercepted and car
ried to lands below the city, it will be
received by a company that proposes to
allow the city to recoup upon its outlay
by receiving one.half of the increased
value of these lands, by virtue OF the
richhess that will be impaired to them
from tho sewage. The plan and the
proposition have q sensible and business.
like air, and ought to accomplish the
double object of affording us complete
system of sewerage, with returns that
will greatly lessen the cost OF the work.

Hon. j. MARION BROOKS. District At
tcrney for the District of Southern Cali
fornia, will to-day forward the abstract
of title, and his opinion of the same, to
the Attorney General at Washington.
This abstract is the history OF the title
of the lot on Main and Winston streets,
selected by the Government for the site
of public building, and the opinion for
warded by Mr.. Brooks is to the effect
that the title is good. At the rate prop
erty is now selling for in the vicinity OF
this site, the value of the lot which
Uncle Sam gets for $3.50 is at least
SlOO, 900; so that in reality the Govern
men, has come into our market and
made a turn of $4,000 without
putting up cent. We learn also
from Mr.. Brooks that the papers
were signed yesterday for three years
further lease of the offices in Mr.. l. W..
Hellman's building over the Farmers
and Merchants Bank. This would seem
to imply that the edi6ce to be erected
by the Government will be of so solid
and extensive q character that it will
take. a long time to build it. The
amount that will be left out of the appro.
priation already made to 60 to the build
ing is sl22, 900; but it is probable that
the Government will find it necessary,
Oh account of the growing Importance
of Los Angeles and Southern California,
to erect a much more costly building
than that sum would secure. There
will doubtless be further appropriations
for this purpose.
